             cutaway view of inline socket
 
This drawing is supposed to show a connector, of the type that is 
commonly used on small DC power supply adapters, for things like 
personal stereos and suchlike. The plugs have an outside dimension of
about 5.2 mm (0.2") and a hole in the centre of either 1.1 or 2.5 mm.
The plugs are easy to get, and so are the sockets that are used in the
small DC powered devices, that is the PCB or panel mounting types. 
What I need are the CORD MOUNTING SOCKETS, which I have one (1) of.
It is the opposite sex to the type that is always fitted to these
"plug-pack" transformer power supplies, and has a plastic screw-on back
cover/body, like the common plug does.
 
If anyone knows where these can be bought (in 100 quantities),
please post, or email me ( Mike_Dewit@kcbbs.gen.nz ). Thanks.
